This is the Pacific Ocean from my series of images of Earth. Being from the Northern Hemisphere, whenever I see an iconic Earth image it's mostly North and Central America with the top of South America. But there are so many other views of our planet! I guess the real REVERSE side of the planet from North America would be the Indian Ocean or something like that. But here's an unusual view- the Pacific- look how big it is!!
All of my linocuts are carved in reverse of what I want the final printed image to be. Here's a photo of the block and print and another of me painting with my helpful assistant Zoe. I'm still painting these images for an artist book- it feels like a never-ending project at this point!
Lovely! You're very good with linocuts. I was never able to get the hang of them.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a peek at you and at your faithful assistant too - both very beautiful :). I love this earth image too, with the wisps of cloud and, as you say, the unusual angle. Its somehow peaceful and dynamic at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and reminds me so much of the Pacific Northwest native people's art! It warms my creative soul.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I like it.!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!!
I love this. I have always been interested in Linocuts. I am so thrilled to come across your blog. Thank you for posting this in IF: Reverse
ReplyDeleteI have added you to my Google reader feed :)
Thank you wonderful people!
ReplyDeleteexcellent work! What a great way to get terrific line work. SO is this a collaborative effort with your cat? I had a blog post in mind discussing the various adventures of being an artist with seven cats running around. I'll have to post that sometime soon! I'm following!
